Damn it @Ben Leybovich , I keep running out of votes for you.

If the HOA puts this to a vote and the membership approves it, it will become law and you have to abide by it.

Great post - wish I could vote twice for this one!

Attention Rental Property Owners in IllinoisCall your State Senator and tell them to VOTE NO TO SB2837.A proposal being considered in Springfield will require all single family homes and apartments, outside of Chicago and built before July 1, 1988, to replace existing smoke detectors with detectors that have non-replaceable batteries.Here are the facts: Property owners would have to comply on January 1, 2017.

And the members have to vote (some say unanimously) on management decisions. 

If the CC&R’s currently do not restrict the rental of property2 and the HOA seeks to amend its CC&R’s to include such provisions, they may do so, but it will require a statutorily higher vote count of the unit owners.3See information sources:1Senate Bill 1350: Online Lodging; Administration; Definitions2A.R.S. 33-1260.01.

The Members have limited voting power to vote on few important events such as sale of the property.The Members contribute all equity capital.

If you go on their site, you can see the active contests and vote.

Thanks for the vote, David!

Just another vote for Dave Rossa.
